Our 2013 opening day Offensive Line

The reality is that Moore is a goner. He's rapidly regressing and doesn't really do anything well any more. Also, his hip doesnt help either. Additionally folks better get used to slausen and ducasse as our starting guards. We don't have big money to spend on the position(especially if we bring back Landry) and its not of value to draft a guard in the first four rounds. Slausen will be cheap and continuity is important on the line.

LT = brick
RT = slausen
C = mangold
RG = ducasse (the only reason he got burn this year was to get him ready for next)
RT = somebody drafted in first three rounds.

The Jets obviously don't care about Slauson or they wouldn't have jerked him around with his pay and playing time. In fact I can't see Slauson even wanting to come back. Which is a loss since he was an OK lineman on a low $$ contract. A team needs guys like that. Not everybody can be a high dollar All Pro.

I definitely think Howard needs to be upgraded. I'm not understanding why everyone thinks he was good, except that he came after Wayne Hunter, and no one could be worse than him. Good teams are built along their offensive lines, and we need a good RT.

Slauson is gone. No way he comes back. Moore is a lot more likely to return. Moore is going to be like Pauho was last year. Really the 1st or 2nd best OL in FA but because he is older will not get a lot of offers. I just dont see a team wanting to give him more then 2 years at mid ranged money. He will not be hard to resign if the FO wants him.

Truthfully id like to see jason smith play the entire game on sunday. He had his share of injuries and clearly didnt perform well for STL, but he has the athleticism you are looking for in todays NFL and there is no reason we shouldnt take 1 game to see how he holds up vs a decent bills Dline.

I just can't justify spending an early-round pick on a RT in this day and age, especially given that we have a 1st Round Center and a 1st Round LT.

A somewhat competent scout should be able to acquire an replacement level RT in later rounds, via Free Agency or from the UDFA pool.

I think a big part of why the Jets were successful in 2009 and 2010 was that they invested in the offensive line and fullback. If Rex really wants to run the ball, and protect subpar quarterbacks he needs a better o-line.
